Ability and potential

Stars

The grade your scouts give him out of five, for his ability now and for his potential. Half a star is ten rating points. Solid stars are what your scouts know; light blue stars are how far they might be out.

Nothing on its own. The stars are read from the same number or band printed beside them, so they never say more than it does.

Scout him. A narrower range turns light blue stars solid; your own players read exact.

Where he is at home

⁠

Familiarity

How at home a player is at a position, from 1 to 99. His own position is always 99. Anywhere else it is what he has earned: it starts where the distance from his own position puts it, rises with the minutes he plays there and with a training focus on it, and slips when he neither plays nor trains it.

The cost of standing there. Every attribute he has is cut by up to 18 percent at the lowest familiarity and by nothing at 99, so a man who is at home at two positions is two players. It also decides who your assistant can use at the spot, who counts as cover for it in the fit report, and which second position he is listed at.

Play him there, or choose the position as his training focus in the second slot of his plan. Both together are fastest. Keep playing him there afterwards: a position left idle fades by about a level a season.

What is game score?

One number for how much a player did in a game: scoring, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks counted up, with missed shots, turnovers and fouls taken off. It is a published basketball measure and not one this game invented. It changes nothing on the floor: every figure in it was printed on a match report that everybody could read, which is why it can be shown for any player at any club.

Where he shoots

Where he shoots

The season of one man in the three zones: the share of his shots from each, and how well he scores there against the league.

It is a record of what he has done, counted from his box scores. The sentence names the zone he leans on, when his share there is a quarter above the league average.

Give him the role that suits it: a rim finisher is best with passers, a shooter with space. His shooting attributes are the cause, this is the effect.

Every shot this season

Every shot this season

One dot for each field-goal attempt he took in a league game this season, filled when it went in and hollow when it missed. How far from the ring is the match record; the side of the floor it came from is drawn for the picture, the same way the replay stages it, so every reader sees the same dot.

It is a record, not a rule. The zones and their makes are counts of the dots, and the line under them sets those counts beside his box score: they are equal when the dots cover every game.

Read where his makes cluster, then give him the role and the minutes that put his shots there. Filter by quarter to see whether he fades or finishes.

How good his shots are

Expected points

The points the league gets from shots like this one this season: the zone, the play, whether it came on the break and whether it came on a second chance. It does not know who was guarding or how far out he stood, because the game records neither. A club's expected points are the sum over its shots, and every figure opens to the kinds of shot it is made of.

It is a measure, not a rule: nothing in a match depends on it. It tells shot selection (how good the shots were) apart from shot-making (what the men did with them), so a bad night reads as bad luck or bad shots rather than just a bad night.

Take more of the shots the league scores most from, the rim and the open three, and fewer long pull-ups; the tactics page moves shots between them.

How he shoots and performs in the next match, alongside the team's form as a whole.

Nothing but playing well clears it. It answers a question nothing else in the model does: rating is what he can do, morale is how he feels, consistency is how widely he swings, and none of them remembers last week.

His deal

Contract ends End of season 2

What he is paid is between him and his club. To sign him, make his club an offer, or put a trade together.

Contract

Wage ⁠

Wage

What the club pays him, as the deal stands today, quoted by the season where the world quotes so and by the week where it does not; it is paid in equal daily shares across every day of the season, offseason included. A contract with an annual rise moves this figure once a season, at rollover, so the number shown is always what is actually being paid rather than what was signed.

The club's wage bill every week, and through the salary rules how much room is left to sign anybody else.

It is fixed until the deal changes. A rise written into the contract, or a new contract altogether.

13 247 a week

Contract ends ⁠

Contract ends

The season after which his deal runs out. Contracts end at the season's close: when that rollover comes he leaves the squad and enters the free-agent pool, owing the club nothing.

When he can walk away for free, and how urgent the question of his future is. A short deal is a cheap player about to become an expensive decision.

Once a deal is near its end you can offer him new terms, and an agreement takes effect the season after the current one runs out. Leave it and he reaches the free-agent pool, where anybody may sign him.

Agent

Representation ⁠

Representation

His agent's work. Some agents push hard on every deal and charge for it; others do not, and a player with no agent at all asks only for himself.

His weekly demand, and a one-off fee your club pays on signing.

Deal with the same agent fairly and repeatedly. They ask for less from a club they like doing business with, and take a smaller cut.
